NOVEL NEXT Chapter 664: Subdue
Gong Xue's physical embodiment naturally took Qiu Sheng's genetic blueprint as its foundation, featuring many striking resemblances.
The same phoenix eyes, the same supermodel figure.
Gong Xue was a bit shorter, standing at 1.9 meters, but her waist and hip curves, along with her exaggerated bust, were exceptionally enchanting.
At that moment, Gong Xue showed no hesitation, casually draping her hand around her waist, generously revealing her explosive figure to Lu Li.
Yet Lu Li did not respond for a long time, leaving Gong Xue looking flustered and pitiful, fluttering her eyes.
Qiu Sheng advised, "Gong Xue is quite fond of you, and it even aids in the Human and Artifact Fusion. Why not go for it?"
Lu Li was conflicted and said, "I'm not against it, I just find it a bit strange..."
"Strange? You need to hurry up."
Qiu Sheng held her hand over her heart, frowning and saying,
"After the Breakthrough, my Spiritual Sense has become even more sensitive. This heaviness in my heart is not a good sign."
Lu Li felt the same oppressive sensation and knew all too well where it was coming from without needing to say.
The supermassive Black Hole that was drawing in the Star System had become sentient and developed a "self" – a truly terrifying thought.
There simply wasn't time for the gradual process of Couple Unity; there had to be a rapid Human and Artifact Fusion.
This wasn't just about issues of emotional attachment, it was about the lives of an entire family, as well as the safety of countless worlds.
This was also the reason why Lu Li found the situation bizarre because matters of desire were now tied to greater justice.
"Please, young Master, take me," Gong Xue pleaded, pressing herself closer, placing Lu Li's hand on her body with a look full of hope.
And Lu Li, going with the flow, caressed her twice, clearly agreeing.
He didn't dislike Gong Xue, in fact, he quite admired her, so why would he object?
Gong Xue immediately became overjoyed. From the beginning, she greatly admired Lu Li, and now to be able to unite with him was like a blessing from the heavens.
Seeing the two accomplish their union, Qiu Sheng showed genuine happiness.
She saw Gong Xue as a close kin and naturally wished for her to have a good fate, and serving one husband together was actually the best solution.
The matter was thus decided, and the transfer of authority was nearly complete as well. Lu Li's Divine Thought now occupied over 90% of the Earth Core.
Qiu Sheng extended her Spirit Realm, releasing her own Spirit Star.
A vision of an ice-crystal planet slowly materialized and then suddenly condensed into solidity, fully arriving.
"This star is named Fuyao.
It's here that you two can undergo Human and Artifact Fusion, making for quite the story," Qiu Sheng said, pointing at the Fuyao Star and urging Lu Li and Gong Xue to hurry there.
Any normal person would have been eager to consummate the union, but Lu Li spoke,
"No rush, we need to first create a new Spirit Star for you."
Without the mass and gravity of a Spirit Star to consolidate it, the Spirit Realm could easily collapse.
Lu Li would not allow it and immediately started creating a new Spirit Star.
The planet from the Hero Academy was just the perfect candidate.
Able to bestow ordinary people with Superpowers, the planet was rich and vibrant in its Spirit Mechanism, and its energy level was quite high, making it an excellent raw material.
Lu Li lifted his hand and allowed the Heart Image to transform into a Black Hole, completely shattering the planet.
Then, he drew in the Spiritual Fragments surrendered by the transmigrators and extracted vast amounts of Spirit Mechanism from the myriad of Spirit Stars, causing a great commotion.
Lu Li was clearly intent on making a grand display and creating a top-tier Spirit Star.
Qiu Sheng greatly appreciated this, immediately feeling uplifted and even more satisfied with her man.
And since she had watched Lu Li create four stars before, she was intimately familiar with the steps involved.
At that moment, in cooperation, she released her Divine Thought and immersed it into the various raw materials.
Husband and wife working in tandem, they managed to create a Spirit Star in less than three days.
Drawing in soil, Spirit Plants, and most importantly, the ocean, the great task was accomplished.
"Teeming with vitality and the interplay of Yin and Yang, this star shall be named Chongxu~"
No one would complain about having too many Spirit Stars, and Qiu Sheng was quite pleased, integrating the newly born "Chongxu Star" into her own Spirit Realm.
Inspired by this, Lu Li felt that his numerous Spirit Stars should also be named.
This can be thought out slowly, but right now there's serious business to attend to.
By this time, Lu Li's Divine Thought had completely occupied Gong Xue's original form, the Fuyao Star.
Next was the Human and Artifact Fusion, maximizing the enhancement of their connection to unleash twelve times the strength.
Lu Li didn't dawdle, embracing Gong Xue and Instant Teleporting to the Fuyao Star, stepping into its icy world in one go.
Now it was Qiu Sheng's turn to enjoy the show, as Lu Li's formidable power could truly be deadly, and without using Cultivation, it was absolutely unstoppable.
Waiting for Gong Xue to show her embarrassing side, Qiu Sheng was set to tease her well, to seek revenge and wash away the shame.
Qiu Sheng's thoughts were wishful, but as Gong Xue was akin to a "Planet Goddess," she naturally held the domains of love and fertility.
Even as a maiden mounting the bridal sedan chair for the first time, her performance was more than satisfactory. Far from making a fool of herself, every move she made was even rich with artistic value.
Qiu Sheng was left speechless and began to admire her instead, while getting accustomed to the newly crafted Chongxu Star.
Her original Spirit Star, the Fuyao Star, quietly remained in its place.
It wasn't until six hours later that the Earth Core of this Spirit Star suddenly exuded a life vibration identical to that of Lu Li.
A consistent life vibration was necessary to command it at will and share power, which was a crucial step in Refining a Magical Treasure.
But under normal circumstances, it would take years of arduous effort.
Lu Li achieved it in just a few hours, which really showed the efficacy of Human and Artifact Fusion.
At this moment, the Fuyao Star belonged entirely to Lu Li, imbued with his essence.
There was also a Mutual Affinity between him and Gong Xue, an intimate interconnection.
With a slight smile, Gong Xue's voice rang out in Lu Li's heart:
["I am yours now, my lord. Shall I help manage the Spirit Realm?"]
"You show off as you like, I'm keen to see what you can do."
Lu Li granted all access to the Spirit Realm, and Gong Xue's eyes immediately glowed with clarity as she mobilized all her powers.
All seven Spirit Stars' mass and gravity, along with the Artificial Sun and Heart Image,
gathered their forces, aiming directly at the vast "Star Nebula."
This was formed from crushed Spiritual Objects, refined into "Spiritual Quality" by the Kunlun Mirror, intended to expand the Spirit Realm.
The current problem was, the supply of goods far exceeded the Kunlun Mirror's processing capacity.
The acquisitions from the Marvel World hadn't even been fully assimilated yet, and Wanqing and her group of transmigrators kept delivering Spiritual Objects constantly.
The Kunlun Mirror simply couldn't keep up with the processing, causing the "Star Nebula" to accumulate more and more, growing to immense proportions.
Luckily, Gong Xue arrived, and things immediately changed.
She coordinated all powers, working alongside the Kunlun Mirror to extract the "Star Nebula."
Then she further crushed and purified these materials, transforming them into "Spiritual Quality."
The Heart Image could do this too, albeit at only 5% of the Kunlun Mirror's efficiency.
But Gong Xue's efficiency was a whopping ten percent faster than the Kunlun Mirror!
As a fully leveled Magic Treasure with the ability to actively invoke Lu Li's power, it was no surprise she was so exaggeratedly effective.
Soon, the mass of the Star Nebula began to shrink.
The expansion speed of Lu Li's Spirit Realm and the rate of increase in his Cultivation sped up by more than double!
"Thrilling!"
Lu Li couldn't help but exclaim, the joy of having two fully leveled Magic Treasures was truly exhilarating.
"Is the young master satisfied?"
Gong Xue asked coyly with a smile, and Lu Li was generous with his praise:
"You are incredible, far beyond my imagination, but it will be quite tiring for you."
Even a fully automated factory needs supervision, and in the long run, it's not an easy task.
Fortunately, as an Artifact Spirit, Gong Xue had endured thousands of long years and wasn't troubled by this.
"Rest assured, young master. I can withstand the loneliness. I only hope you will favor me more, for that pleasure is irresistibly addictive~"
Gong Xue giggled, pressing herself against Lu Li.
Lu Li wrapped his arm around her slender waist, whispering, "I will, and besides, I have to thank you for becoming my Anchor."
